    Somehow I think ducks would have an accent like the old ‘transatlantic’ accent used by actors from the 1940s.

      It’s been proven with cat’s meows. Distinct among various regions. And, they’re based on how human babies cry in those regions IIRC.

    I think cats would have outrageously fake french accents.

      Ask the British (and apparently Australians too) about that and we might say meerkats are Russian on account of a very popular set of insurance TV advertisements.

      That said, I haven’t watched TV in earnest for a few years at this point, specifically before Russia fell from favour, so I’m not sure whether that’s affected their popularity or not.

      And I have no idea what we might have said prior to the ad campaign.

    This encourages racist responses, but no one will notice until a people of color are involved.

      All racism is stereotyping, but maybe not all stereotyping is racist.

      Moose would sound like John Goodman doing a decent accent.

      Canada Geese could sound like peewee herman on meth.

      Bears? Dunno.

      What evidence do you have for that ?

        It was a prediction. We need to wait for the evidence.

        So far groups mentioned have been Aussie, Brit, French, Italian, and Russian. At the time I made my comment it was Aussie and Italian only.
